    8To the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to remain as I am.

    12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.

    14For the unbelieving husband is made holy through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy through her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

    15But if the unbeliever departs, let them do so. A brother or sister is not bound in such circumstances. God has called us to live in peace.

    16For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

    2For a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.

    3Consequently, while her husband is still alive, she would be called an adulteress if she joins herself to another man; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so she would not be an adulteress by becoming another man’s wife.

    32I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord.

    33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife.

    34And his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord’s affairs. Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband.

    35I am saying this for your benefit, not to restrict you, but so that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.

    36If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are strong and he feels it must be so, let him do as he wants. He is not sinning; they should marry.

    37But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing.

    38So then, the one who marries the virgin does right, but the one who does not marry her does better.

    39A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, only in the Lord.

    40Yet in my opinion, she is happier if she remains as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

    1Now concerning the matters you wrote about: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

    2But because of sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.

    3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband.

    4The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

    5Do not deprive one another, except by mutual agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

    27Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

    28But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will face troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.

    29This is what I mean, brothers and sisters: The time is short. From now on, those who have wives should live as if they do not.

    11If a woman living in her husband's household makes a vow or takes an oath to bind herself by a pledge,

    13But if her husband annuls them on the day he hears of them, then none of the words from her lips concerning her vows or the obligations she has taken upon herself will stand. Her husband has annulled them, and the LORD will forgive her.
